Wallace Greenslade
Wallace Frederick Powers Greenslade〔GRO Register of Births: SEP 1912 8b 1671 ORMSKIRK - Wallace P. Greenslade, mmn = Powers〕 (1 July 1912 – 21 April 1961) was a BBC radio announcer and newsreader. He is mainly remembered for being the announcer—and frequently the straight man—for the BBC radio comedy series ''The Goon Show'' for eight series.
==Early life==
Greenslade was born in Formby, Lancashire (now Merseyside). During the Second World War, he served for two and a half years as a lieutenant commander in the Royal Naval Reserve. He also worked as a purser with the P&O Line.〔
In 1945 Greenslade joined the BBC, where he began in the European Service, as presentation assistant and newsreader. In 1949 he was appointed a Home Service announcer before becoming a newsreader in both radio and television from November 1955. In addition to ''The Goon Show'', he was announcer for ''The Great Gilhooly'', ''Star Show'' and ''Variety Playhouse''. He was one of the original team of BBC Television newsreaders appearing from July 1954 to May 1957. His well-known trademark was always taking off his glasses at the end of each bulletin. In May and June 1960 he presented the ''Today'' programme for two months before his death.〔
Physically a large rotund man, "the massive Greenslade" a colleague once called him, he died suddenly at his home at Weybridge, Surrey in April 1961, aged 48 from a heart attack.〔GRO Register of Deaths: JUN 1961 5g 637 SURREY .W. - Wallace F. P. Greenslade, aged 48〕 Following a funeral service at St Mary's Oatlands, near Weybridge, he was buried at Brooklands Lane Cemetery, Weybridge. At the subsequent memorial service, his BBC colleague John Snagge gave an address. Greenslade left a wife, Carol.〔
